I crafted and sent early because I'm spending much of the summer in Korea. milik and I probably were making less ambitious items than some of you as well because we agreed upon smaller items that we would like.

This isn't a great picture--and I'm sure milik will have better, but here is the snapshot I quickly took. There is the ubiquitous panta (wide headband-pattern here at craftster), a red summer headband, and kitty dim sum stuffed with catnip. The yellow dim sum is a wonton and the blue is an eggroll. The pattern is from knitty.com: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring03/PATTdimsum.html

The panta is a beautiful color and pattern and of course, anything red is beautiful to me--but a headband, what a nice summer idea!! And how neat to think of your kitties!! I bet they love the wonton and eggroll!! Very cute!!

It is tejer who's the speedy knitter! I have gotten so many compliments on that red headband... seriously! And, I live in Minnesota, so I'll need to make use of that panta sooner than you think. I'm glad there are before pictures, 'cause I was dreading taking a picture of the headbands. They are so cool that I knew my crappy camera skills wouldn't do them justice. Here are some action shots of the cat toys, though!
